Residential Property Partner/Senior Fee Earner | Dorking
The Opportunity
* This is a partnership opening within a long-established Surrey firm where residential property sits at the heart of the practice, not on the sidelines. Conveyancing here is a core service with consistent demand, strong local roots and influence within the firm.
* The role suits a senior residential property lawyer who wants visibility, autonomy and a clear route into partnership, either immediately or following a short bedding‑in period, depending on experience.
The Work
* You would oversee a broad, high-quality residential caseload, covering sales, purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity and new‑build transactions, managing matters end‑to‑end from instruction through to post‑completion.
* The work goes beyond pure volume conveyancing, with exposure to more nuanced title issues, landed and agricultural property, easements and complex chains, reflecting the firm's long‑standing client base and regional footprint.
* Client care is central to how the team operates, with an emphasis on clear communication, practical problem‑solving and keeping clients and referrers informed throughout the transaction.
The Team & Platform
* You would be joining a CQS‑accredited residential property team that is well resourced, process‑driven and known locally for its clarity and reliability.
* The firm operates from multiple Surrey offices, giving access to a steady flow of work, strong estate agent relationships and repeat private client instructions.
* There is real scope to shape how the residential offering develops, from supervision and mentoring of junior lawyers to influencing systems, service delivery and growth.
Partnership & Progression
* This role is about more than fee‑earning. You would be expected to play a visible role in business development, strengthening referrer relationships and continuing to build the firm's profile in the local market.
* For the right individual, this is an opportunity to step into partnership within a stable, respected firm that values long‑term relationships, both with clients and internally.
Why This Role Makes Sense
* This offers scale, variety and influence without the pressure or culture of a volume‑only model.
* It combines high‑quality residential work with a Surrey lifestyle, strong local networks and the chance to build something lasting within an established firm.
